Ahrensburg, October 29, 2025 – Basler AG, a leading provider of image processing components for computer vision solutions, today published its preliminary financial results for the first nine months of 2025.

The Basler Group significantly increased its incoming orders and sales in the first nine months of the fiscal year. The third quarter, which is usually rather weak, was more positive than expected. Incoming orders increased by
43 % to Euro 58.5 million (previous year: Euro 41.0 million) and sales by 29 % to Euro 56.3 million (previous year: Euro 43.7 million). Cumulatively, incoming orders rose by 29 % year-on-year to Euro 171.8 million (previous year: Euro 133.5 million), while sales rose by 23 % to Euro 168.0 million (previous year: Euro 136.7 million).

The significant increase in sales, the reduction in costs compared to the previous year, and the increase in the gross profit margin by 1.4 percentage points to 47.8 % (previous year: 46.4 %) despite negative currency effects underscore the Group's progress and its return to a profitable growth strategy. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) tripled to Euro 27.2 million (previous year: Euro 9.0 million). Earnings before taxes rose by Euro 18.3 million to Euro 13.4 million in the first nine months of 2025 (previous year: Euro -4.9 million), corresponding to a pre-tax return of 8.0 % (previous year: -3.6 %).

Operating cash flow amounted to Euro 20.1 million (previous year: Euro 12.7 million). After deducting investment cash flow in the amount of Euro 7.3 million (previous year: Euro 11.2 million), free cash flow improved year-on-year to Euro 12.4 million (previous year: Euro 1.5 million).

For the rest of the year, the management board of the Basler Group expects the market environment to remain subdued, with industrial production and purchasing managers' indices in the economies relevant to Basler remaining close to the growth threshold and geopolitical uncertainties and trade conflicts continuing to weigh on the investment climate. In addition, it is assumed that the weakness of the US dollar and many Asian currencies against the euro will continue in the remaining months. Against the backdrop of the accumulated results and relatively high incoming orders in the usually rather weak third quarter, the management board is once again raising its forecast for the 2025 fiscal year despite weak market conditions. Management now expects to achieve consolidated sales of between Euro 220 million and Euro 225 million with an EBT margin of between 5.5 % and
7.5 %. Previously, consolidated sales of between Euro 202 million and Euro 215 million and an EBT margin of between 2 % and 6 % had been forecast for fiscal year 2025.

The complete 9-month report will be available on the company's website (www.baslerweb.com) from November 6, 2025.
